Nat "King" Cole (March 17th 1919–February 15th 1965) was a popular American singer and jazz musician.

As a piano player, he formed a jazz trio in 1938 that played Los Angeles nightclubs, one of the first jazz trios featuring guitar and piano. Prior to this he had played music since he was a child and had worked with bands since he was sixteen. He was raised in Chicago and exposed to the abundant jazz scene there. He was heavily influenced by pianist Earl "Fatha" Hines.Read Full BioNat "King" Cole (March 17th 1919–February 15th 1965) was a popular American singer and jazz musician.

As a piano player, he formed a jazz trio in 1938 that played Los Angeles nightclubs, one of the first jazz trios featuring guitar and piano. Prior to this he had played music since he was a child and had worked with bands since he was sixteen. He was raised in Chicago and exposed to the abundant jazz scene there. He was heavily influenced by pianist Earl "Fatha" Hines.

Later he became more popularly known as a singer and crooner and his work became more orchestrated.

His first mainstream vocal hit was in 1944 with Straighten Up and Fly Right, based on a black folk tale that his father had used as a theme for a sermon. Although hardly a rocker, the song's success proved that an audience for folk-based material existed. It is considered a predecessor to the first rock and roll records. Indeed, Bo Diddley, who performed similar transformations of folk material, counted Cole as an influence.

Beginning in the late 1940s, Cole began recording and performing more pop-oriented material for mainstream audiences, often accompanied by a string orchestra. His stature as a popular icon was cemented during this period with such hits as The Christmas Song (1946), Nature Boy (1948), Mona Lisa (1950), and his signature tune Unforgettable (1951). While this shift to pop music led some jazz critics and fans to accuse Cole of selling out, he never totally abandoned his musical roots; as late as 1956, for instance, he recorded an all-jazz album, After Midnight. In 1991, Mosaic Records released the Complete Nat King Cole Trio Recordings on Capitol, which contained 349 songs on twenty-seven LPs or eighteen CDs.

Throughout the 1950s Cole continued to rack up hit after hit, including Smile, Pretend, A Blossom Fell, and If I May. Most of his pop hits were collaborations with famed arranger/conductor Nelson Riddle. It was with Riddle that Cole released his first ten-inch long-play album in 1953 entitled Sings for Two in Love. Several more albums followed, including the Gordon Jenkins arranged Love Is the Thing, which reached number one on the album charts in April 1957.

Inspired by a trip to Havana, Cuba in 1958, Nat went back there that same year and recorded Cole Espanol, an album sung entirely in Spanish and Portuguese. The album was a hit not only in the U.S., but in Latin America as well. The album was so popular, that two others followed: A mis amigos in 1959, and More Cole Espanol in 1962.

Musical tastes were changing in the late 1950s, and despite a successful stab at rock n' roll with Send for Me, Cole's ballad singing had grown old to younger listeners. Like contemporaries Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, Nat found that the pop singles chart had been almost entirely taken over by youth oriented acts. In 1960, Nat's longtime collaborator Nelson Riddle, left Capitol Records for Frank Sinatra's newly formed Reprise Records label. The two parted ways with one final hit album Wild Is Love, based on lyrics by Ray Rasch and Dotty Wayne. Nat would later re-tool the concept album into an off-Broadway production called I'm With You.

As the 1960s progressed, Nat once again found success on the American singles chart, starting with the country/pop flavored hit Ramblin' Rose in August of 1962. Three more hit singles followed: Dear Lonely Hearts, Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer, and That Sunday, That Summer. Nat's final album was entitled L.O.V.E, and was recorded in late 1964. It was released just prior to his death and reached number four on the Billboard Albums chart in the spring of 1965. A "Best Of" album went gold in 1968. His 1957 song When I Fall in Love was a chart topping hit for the U.K. in 1987.

Cole was the first African-American to have his own radio program. He repeated that success in the late-1950s with the first truly national television show starring an African-American. In both cases, the programs were ultimately canceled because sponsors shied away from a black artist. Cole fought racism all his life, refusing to perform in segregated venues. In 1956, he was attacked on stage in Birmingham, Alabama by members of the White Citizens' Council who apparently were attempting to kidnap him. Despite injuries, Cole completed the show but vowed never to perform in the South again.

On 23rd August 1956, Cole spoke at the Republican National Convention in the Cow Palace, San Francisco, California. He was also present at the Democratic National Convention in 1960, to throw his support behind President John F. Kennedy. Cole was also among the dozens of entertainers recruited by Frank Sinatra to perform at the Kennedy Inaugural gala in 1961. Nat King Cole frequently consulted with President Kennedy (and later President Johnson) on the issue of civil rights. Yet he was dogged by critics, who felt he shied away from controversy when it came to the civil rights issue. Among the most notable was Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was upset that Cole didn't take stronger action after the 1956 on-stage attack.

In 1948, Cole purchased a house in the all-white Hancock Park neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. The property owners association told Cole they didn't want any undesirables moving in, to which Cole retorted "Neither do I. And if I see anybody undesirable coming in here, I'll be the first to complain."

He and his second wife, Maria Ellington, were married in Harlem's Abyssinian Baptist Church by Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. They had five children, including twin girls. Daughter Carol Cole, and son Kelly Cole were adopted. Kelly Cole died in 1995. Nat's daughter, Natalie Cole, and his younger brother, Freddie Cole are also singers.

Natalie and her father had an unexpected hit in the summer of 1991. The younger Cole mixed a 1961 recording of her father's rendition of Unforgettable with her own voice, creating an electronic duet. Both the song and the album of the same name won several Grammy awards the following year.

Cole performed in many short films, and played W. C. Handy in the film Saint Louis Blues. He also appeared in The Nat King Cole Story, China Gate, and The Blue Gardenia.

Nat King Cole was a heavy smoker of Kool menthol cigarettes, believing that smoking up to three packs a day gave his voice the rich sound it had (Cole would smoke several cigarettes in rapid succession before a recording for this very purpose). Cole died of lung cancer at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California, on 15th February 1965. His funeral was held at St. Victor's Catholic Church in West Hollywood, and he was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. Cat Ballou, his final film, was released several months later.

UnforgettableThat's what you areUnforgettableTho' near or farLike a song of love that clings to meHow the thought of you does things to meNever before has someone been moreUnforgettable in every wayAnd forever more, that's how you'll stayThat's why darling it's incredibleThat someone so unforgettableThinks that I am unforgettable too

@Chele Myers you think just because this man was a kind, gentle man, that everyone back then was? I jumped to racism and other issues because they were very much alive and accepted back then, and this person said that "people back then were so respectful". and while yes, there were good people back then, its ignorant to say that we'd be better off living how they did. i haven't been "brainwashed"- half of my family is black and they have so many stories of living in older decades. they were treated awfully.. i'm sorry you're a white american who's always gotten your way, but maybe pull your head out of your ass and realize that people who were different than you SUFFERED back then.

People didn’t do that back then. Your head went straight to racism because you are a Democrat’s wet dream. And I wouldn’t piss on John Legend and his pig wife when their cheering on the destruction of our country behind their gated house. Congratulation. Your a pawn and they didn’t even have to pay you.

"THIS IS A TRUE STORY:It was raining hard in Santa Monica, California that night and the lady's car had broken down!!! The lady had been walking for only a few minutes, when a man stopped and offered her a ride. He was white - she was black and this was February 15, 1965!!! She was well dressed - nice looking - and even though she had an umbrella - she was almost soaked to the bone - as they say! She was obviously in some distress probably because her car broken down!! So the man quickly took her to her destination - the local hospital in Santa Monica - where she was going to see someone. Well, he figured, that explained her distress - probably an ill friend in the hospital. She thanked him very much - and said goodbye. That was the last that the man thought about the episode. This was simply a random act of kindness and nothing more and the color of their skin meant nothing to the woman or the man!! She needed help - and he helped her - they both felt good about it. The very next week - a brand new large color TV was delivered to the mans house. He had no idea who bought it for him - but he'd take it - he could not afford any TV - much less one of those expensive, new color TVs!! A color TV would have easily cost him nearly all of a months wages! He opened an envelope that was delivered with the TV and a small note read: "Thank you for the ride on that rainy night. I got to the hospital in time to tell my husband that I truly loved him - and to tell him "Goodbye" just before he died. This was because you gave me a ride. I am forever grateful to you. Thank you again, and may God Bless you - as He has blessed me - with you!" And it was signed Maria Cole - wife of Nat King Cole!! Nat King Cole died in Santa Monica, California on February 15, 1965 of lung cancer - at the age of 45. Remember this story - if you happen to be driving on some rainy night and see someone walking in the rain. They will appreciate a ride - regardless of who they are. But you will ever know who they are - if you just drive away!! Enjoy this day!!!" ytcomment

His voice is beautiful and like a warm loving hug. The smile is so magnetic and full of joy. Sitting here watching thinking of my loving husband who is at work right now. He is unforgettable and I'm so thankful that he thinks I'm unforgettable too.

Songs like this makes me want to light up a lucky strike cigarette and sip the finest brandy while my best gal sits close to me near the fire place
